How to be Smarter: In small actions, be kind; in big actions, be brave.

How to be Prettier: A winter trend this year is toe cap shoes: essentially, shoes that have a toe that is a different color than the rest of the shoe (examples here, here and here).

How to be (less) Awkward: If you are not sure whether you should send a potentially upsetting email or text, just pause and ask yourself the question: “how would I feel if this popped up in my inbox?” If the answer is not how you want the receiver to feel, go back and reword passages to take a slightly different tone.
